Holiday In Narrabeen
Indulge me while I share some holiday snaps of where Gbf and I stayed while I attended the Gwen Marston workshops. While I was running around in the sand dunes I realised it had been more than 2 years since I'd last seen the ocean. It's chilly winter time here in Oz but we sure had a great time watching the waves roll in, feeling the sand beneath our feet, and breathing in the salt air.
If you make it to the end of the photos you'll see where I'm up to with my liberated medallion...
Here it is -
my Liberated Medallion so far ... stay tuned for the next exciting border, I'm not quite sure but it could involve some applique and circles...

ReplyDeleteMmm, looks like the perfect holiday--the ocean, beachcombing, sewing, and hibiscus blooming in the winter! Your medallion is very exciting so far. Can't wait to see what else you do!
ReplyDeleteJust looked at your medallion again. Those little dark strips are a brilliant addition!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!!!! What are those long pine cone looking things in different colors? They are so pretty =D
ReplyDeleteI love your medallion quilt!!!
What serene calm colors in the (are they pinecones?) photo. I'm excited to see the next part of your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combination in the shot of the line of 'monkey tails' - (that is what we call the norfolk pine leaves here in NZ, if you wondered what I meant).
ReplyDeleteNeverbeen to Narabeen but it looks great. Winter is Australia is most excellent I reckon. Snow is pretty an all but freezing is too cold and I like our blue skies and unfrozen water!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely spot to stay.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the medallion continuing to grow.
Looks like a lovely location, even in mid winter!
ReplyDeletewow - loved our getaway photos. Food for the soul.
ReplyDeletethe nature quilt is so sweet.
Love the look of the medallion quilt!!
I like seeing those "Martha" rectangless in there too, Rachel! I have not progressed any further with mine but school's back today!
ReplyDeleteI love how the borders of the medallion are defined by the darker strips.
